Dutch term or phrase: Emballage
The company is already using the term 'packaging' for verpakking and the term 'packing' for emballage. However, they have asked for an alternative to 'packing' so as to avoid confusion with packaging. Any ideas?

transit packaging
Explanation:
Based on the additional information provided by asker in the D-box, I would translate emballage here as transit packaging. Even returnable transit packaging (RTP) would be a valid option here, as it is fully consistent with the feedback/explanation provided by the client.

Our services are particularly valuable to businesses that use significant quantities of non-standard and costly transit packaging such as wooden or plastic pallets, metal stillages, crates, pallet tops and collars, boxes and frames.

The UK produces most of its packaging from timber, for example wooden pallets, crates and boxes. Wood is a durable and renewable material therefore it is ideal to produce pallets and other transit packaging.

For transporting food products, Returnable Transit Packaging (RTP) is gradually replacing single trip packaging products, such as cardboard, as the preferred carrier.
(...)
PHS provides a wide selection of RTP food packaging including food crates, bakers trays, collapsible crates, bale arm crates, plastic pallets and pallet boxes. Constructed from durable polyethylene, our environmentally friendly food packaging products are specifically designed for multiple trips over an extended life, saving you money in the long run.

As returnable transit packaging eliminates the use of wood, cardboard and other fibrous materials, it helps to promote good hygiene. This makes them ideal for supermarkets and food manufacturers.

Thank you!

agree  Michael Beijer: I don't really see the returnable/deposit element in "transit packaging" on its own. Disagree w/ writeaway. / CHANGED MY ANSWER NEUTRAL TO AGREE ----> I agree with "returnable (transit) packaging" (IN THIS CONTEXT)
3 hrs
  -> Thanks, Michael. I posted transit packaging as the EN equivalent of NL emballage, which is also not necessarily returnable/reusable. In this specific context, however, returnable (transit) packaging is indeed more appropriate. / Thnx!

agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: I would say the references plus your answer and D-box entries tell the complete story. Good references.

neutral  Kitty Brussaard: Good refs as such but in this case asker is specifically looking for other options than packaging and packing. / Providing all available options, I see :-)
